Yes bloodwork is enough to tell you if your ovulating but that will not tell them until after you ovulate so by then it is too late for you to try to conceive if i understand my doc correctly because i have the same issue an i am paying out of pocket also so i understand the costs quite well that is one of the stresses that made me take a break for the last 4 months. unfortunately i live in a state where infertility is not covered by insuranceView Thread

never had 2 dosages in the same cycle but i do feel pains on the side that has the mature folicle to release. i would start digital opk if i was you that way you dont miss your ovulation bucause there is only a 2 day window each monthView Thread

I know it can feel al little discouraging i had been ttc for 2 years also i took a break in november because of all the mental emotions i was going thru i am getting ready to start again next month. i got preganant of my 1st and 2nd round of clomid but lost both pregnancies. Keep your faith and stay prayed up becuase what is meant to be will be sooner or later. Lots of baby dust to you keep us informed on what the doc says.View Thread

well dont feel all is lost we have to remember there is only a 20% - 25% chance of cenception for any woman healthy or not so there is nothing to be confused about i have also been ttc for over 2 years with the help of clomid and i have had 2 mc all you can do is keep trying and one day it will happen. lots a baby dust to youView Thread

would say since it is 3 weeks past your ovulation i would say the hpt should be accurate you could always have the doc do a blood test that way they can tell if you are pregnant or if you even ovulated.View Thread

congratulations i am so happy for u a know youve been on a long journey.I have been taking a break since november but im starting to get the itch to start again it was just beating me up so bad mentally i had to break to recuperate. Congrats againView Thread

if you are not using ovulation predictor kits that is the first thing you should start doing so you can narrow down when you are actually ovulating that way you know when you should be bding becuase there are only 2 days a month you can get pregnantView Thread
